Dana Podell

Credentials:

  • Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
  • Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT)

I am a licensed physical therapist and certified yoga therapist specializing in women’s health, pelvic health, and pain management. I was fortunate to receive my doctorate in physical therapy from Northwestern University where I completed my final clinical internship in pelvic health. Pelvic health physical therapy is a specialized field that helps many women recover from symptoms related to bladder, bowel, and sexual health as well as pelvic pain across a woman’s lifespan.

My approach to care is integrative and lifestyle focused. In every session I address physical symptoms as well as high stress levels, insomnia, and dysregulated emotional health through the integration of physical therapy with yoga therapy. I understand that addressing the body holistically results in long-term sustainable health. I believe you can embody health and move pain-free with compassionate care, gentle guidance, and support along the way.
